    just did some reading...3M makes an edge sealer for vinyl graphics...if you think you need to do something. Sounds and looks like you did a good job applying it...should hold

    Spent the day finishing the old classic Center Console Grip-It mod (Used adhesive and screws), and then installed the two new headlight assemblies I had purchased... These were not at cheap $221 each, but they are OEM, are very high quality and I think are well worth the cost, they give the 2011 TRD Sport a much more upgraded and modern look with the smoked look. My previous left side was getting moisture in it. Really happy with how it came out and wow these things are bright! Also just curious, the right one is in very good shape and is a couple years old. Is there are market on here for selling one of these right headlights from a 2nd gen? Photo below.
    Here are the headlights I used: https://toyotaparts.bochtoyotasouth.com/oem-parts/toyota-headlamp-assembly-8115004173

    Not too bad, installed the ucas with the old ball joints still in them because it was alot easier to break the joint from the arm when it was anchored to something. Getting the long bolt back in wasn't bad. Takes a little wiggling the arm until the bolt lines up and starts sliding in. Takes a little hammering to persuade it to go all the way through. All in all it only took an hour to put em both on

    Was 320 open box at Best Buy. Nothing missing or damaged harness was a little roughly stripped up but that was easy to fix just cut and restrip. Like 370 new.

    has android auto and Apple CarPlay. Super responsive, tons of options. Big fan so far!

    5100s and OME 885 coils front, 5100s and AAL for the TSB leaf pack (overload left in) rear. Jeraco camper shell.
    What length screws? I did this long ago with adhesive backed velcro so it would be removable. I've never once removed it and the adhesive is failing. Time for a permanent fix.

    As far as what I did: cleaned my MAF sensor last night for the first time. Some people swear by this as making a huge difference in MPG. I'm still a little skeptical that this cleaning is anything more than good maintenance practice, but I swear the truck was more responsive, idles lower, and shifts smoother on my ride to work. I might be a believer yet.

    Started my head unit upgrade yesterday Probably one of the easiest I’ve ever done. I spent about twice as much as I had planned so the speaker’s will be next month not sure yet if the extra cost is justifiable yet. The unit is a kenwood dmx-907s. After I have a bit of time with it I’ll post in the product review section if anyone else is considering one of these. 2BAE1151-D562-4350-8630-2E52830E995A.jpg

    I have the 905s. i'll be interested to hear what you think. Excellent from a sound quality and general operation, but the interface between bluetooth/kenwood weblink/apple carplay is less than intuitive, at least for this moron.

    Looks good!
